One thing I noticed is that while the environment looks lush and pretty, everything has been very narrow, almost lane looking. I want to see more open area like Destiny and Warframe (not that Plains of Eidolon or whatever it's called ever worker for me.. What a rip off)

this is not a Destiny (LOLOLOLOLOLOL)
can play Single Player
Cosmetic only Micro-transctions
no loot boxes
30fps on Consoles / not locked on PC
4K maybe in the future
Anthem is intended to be a Live Service so might be the only game release
Player Character is Voiced
Must play as a Human
must be Online to play (duh)
No AI team mates
No Romances (no sex-o-suits lol)
4 classes / javelins at launch
can swap Javelins but not during a mission
No reason to start a new Character
might be able to get into another players Javelin at a later date
suits do not combine into a Voltron robot
cannot trade items
Anthem has a main Villian
might be able to re-customize you character outside of character creator at a later date
you will have an Apartment
cannot drive the Strider (the big walker things)
Dragon Age 4 is going swell
bug Casey Hudson about a ME Trilogy remaster
No required Solo play missions
tutorial is about 20mins long
Dangerous places that you should not go to right away
No Snow or Desert areas
no underwater fights
Hub area is a "Story Hub" does not have other players in the area
NO PVP
4 player squads
Cross Platform play is to be determined
could play the game forever "living game"
Dialogue trees (not as big as other games "simpler")
No loot stealing
will do something about Griefing
no answer for Public Beta

weird one for me. I wasn't blown away by the trailer or demo, and that list is actually fairly underwhelming. 'This isn't a Destiny' - let's be honest they were never going to say yes it is 'a Destiny' (which is a pretty ambiguous question / term in itself.. I get what they are saying.. but what aspect??) and as a Destiny fan who acknowledges the good, the bad and the real bad, personally I'm thinking.. stink. I want another Destiny. I know D2 is having another years worth of 'content' behind the annual pass but leeeeeeeeeeeet's be honest it's probably going to be minimal required effort on the devs end, short campaigns, no cut scenes (their words) and bumping up the level cap for an artificial carrot dangling.. infact I'm sure this most recent Warmind expansion has been a litmus test on the future of progression for Destiny..

anyway i forgot what the hell my point was.

Oh yeah Anthem. I want to want it but not feeling it yet. Need a beta to get amongst. Meanwhile more hyped for Division 2.

yeah, Easy Allies had a great point, its more of a Monster Hunter World rather then a Destiny.
and i'm fine with that, as MHW is so much better then Destiny2.

still yes, a Beta needs to happen to let people see how the game feels.

also lots of people don't think it will hit the 22/02/2019 release date. (and based on the way they were talking about the game, it real does not seem close to ready)

tho i did like that fact that they didn't seem to have a deal with MS or Sony for exclusive stuff.
but of course that might be announced at one of those conferences instead.

Well there all those actual people who would lose their jobs and livelihoods. You do understand people... a great many people make up BioWare right? Maybe try to remember the world does not revolve around you huh. Any company closing down has a massive impact on a lot of people, and generally those affected are not the cause for the closure.

one thing your missing, if Anthem fails, EA will CLOSE Bioware.
EA doesn't let people go, they close them and then run the IP into the ground(or let the IP rot in a corner)

Yeah I agree with this if anthem fails I think EA will close bioware and there will be no more mass effect or dragon age.
They haven't really showed enough footage or explained what the game is very well just yet. e3 was their chance to really show and let people know just what anthem is and instead of answering questions many are left unanswered and even more for me are raised on just how far along this game is if it is releasing in feb 2019. showing looping video of early concept art does not exactly inspire confidence.

looked decent but kinda average by today's standards , certainly not something i got the time sink to put into anymore for the rewards. but then again i am not their target audience so no loss whatever happens.

I spotted a few Mass Effect--ish combat combos (like freezing/flame explosions) and the verticality of the game space looks cool. But they're kidding themselves if they think people are going to play this "forever" like that one ridiculously overconfident dev says. I actually thought Casey Hudson looked totally disillusioned in that video and seemed like even he didn't believe the sales patter coming out of his own mouth.

base game on NZ PSN for pre-order is $119.95
Legion of Dawn edition $127.95
look's like they have no BS Season pass either. (neither pre-order lists one, just some digital goods)
pre-order's have Beta access I guess? "VIP Access to Pre-launch Demos"
